08/08/86 Vendredi (Friday) Bad attitude

Ca Va, pas!
Today the people from church called.  I probably can have a ride only this Sunday we'll be in Honfleur.  I am so upset I'm going crazy.  They think I'm rude here because I don't smile all the time and get thrills from posting pictures together or stealing things.  I don't understand why I was sent here.  What did I do that was so wrong.  I want to go home so bad but I know I'd never forgive myself if I did.

Only 18 more days.  The sad part is that I know there must be some nice normal French people somewhere.  I'm getting an awful feeling for the French people as a whole.

Finished reading my English books today. I feel awful because the more I get to know them the more I dislike them.  It is so awful living with someone you don't care about what happens to them.

Tonya called.  I burst out in tears again.  She said her host mom says I can come stay for 4 days or whatever.  Only thing we gotta work out is Colette and the train.

She was gonna call at 9:30 and she did only Colette didn't answer the phone.  Now I won't know until tomorrow.

I keep getting massive headaches from all the tension here.  I hate it.  I really would go home if I wasn't so stupid.  I just have to finish this.  I keep eating like a pig. I'm going to be so far. I hate me.  I hate everything.

But I really don't.  I just want to be on the other side of the world.  I love people and they love me back.  I'm so glad Tonya is my friend or I'd never make it.  Gotta go watch some movies. Bye now.

06/14/25 Pre-Yellowstone

Last year for Christmas I purchased a vacation to Yellowstone for the kids and us. The dates for the Yellowstone cabin were June 16-June 20. We decided to break the trip up a little and drive up the weekend before and drive home the weekend after. Also, because Katie got married, and Dallas has limited time off, he was unable to take his family on the trip. We stayed at his house and got some twin time in before we continued north.  Aspen and John moved to Pennsylvania and are in Utah for the summer. On our way up north we stopped at Becky's house to see them and their sweet new baby.  Erik recently got a new job so he was also not able to join us on our trip. Holly became our little girl again and traveled with us.  Holly and Millie My dad's been in the care center so we stopped by to visit him. He's being well cared for. He is struggling to put sentences together. We came and went to church with him at the care center. He's been asking for a really good pizza. So we w...

06/16/25-06/20/25 Yellowstone

We had a really great week on our Yellowstone trip. We stayed at a VRBO cabin in a remote cabin in Ashton, Idaho. It was just right for our group. We were able to go to Yellowstone, Grand Teton, Mesa Falls, the Yellowstone Playhouse, Lava Hot Springs Pools and Slides.  We drove lots, played games, did puzzles, roasted hot dogs, made s'mores, enjoyed picnic lunches, ice cream at the frost top, dinners together made by each lil family and so much more.  Loved it! (There are lots more pictures in our shared Yellowstone google album. Also, these pictures are not in order of happening. )

07/10/2025 Dad's Passing

Dad's stay at the care center ended up being 35 days. He had a care giver that really connected with him named Michael. Michael cared for him when he was living at home and then came out a couple of times to the care center before he died. He really appreciated those visits and lit up when Michael came to visit and help care for him. I'm thankful that I was able to see him the two weekends about two weeks before he died. He was still able to smile and sit and eat at that time. I'm so glad that Ruth and Becky were able to take the time and spend quite a bit of time with him the last couple of weeks before he died. His condition continued to deteriorate and it was not easy to see him that way and spend so much time there. But my sisters and Suzanne did what they could to make him comfortable at the end.  He was found dead in his bed on the morning of July 10. Rest in peace, Dad. I love you!
